K2 Fatal Error - Couldn't Load vid_d3d9

Hello,

i'm going absolutely crazy trying to fix my HoN in working again, it doesn't even start... EVER it just gives this error

"hon.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windows\system32\d3dx9_40.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."

i have tried the following
1. running it as Admin
2. reinstalling HoN (re-downloading it, installing it in different folders (as admin ofcourse))
3. reinstalling graphics drivers

i have tried to see if it is Direct X related but it is impossible to reinstall it or update it since i already have Direct X 11, thus every setup i run says "you already have this or a newer version" and the installer just shuts down

also i can't find my console.log anywhere i have windows 7 and i tried going to this folder
"C:\Users\[user]\Documents\Heroes of Newerth\game\"
as you mentioned at this linkhttp://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/wi...hp/Console.logbut it can't find the folder, anywhere(and yes i changed [user] to my username)
